With another moonlight snowshoe trip coming up sometime this week or next, I wanted to see what was on the ground at Featherstonehaugh. I didn't expect it to be very skiable, so opted for snowshoes instead. Parked on Tidball Road, and walked the entire ski trail loop, much of which had recent ski tracks. There was maybe an inch of recent snow on top of an icy crust. Wet areas were frozen, and breaking through into the air pockets below was common, even on snowshoes. When not breaking through, conditions made for easy walking on top of the snow, and I was back at the car in about an hour. Snow, sleet, ice, and rain expected through tomorrow, so conditions will undoubtedly change.

About This Blog

I've always been an active hiker, biker, and cross-country skier, but never felt like I had enough time for these things. Having retired from the Federal government at the end of December, 2007, I now have virtually unlimited time on my hands, and plan to spend it doing those things I love, and more. Carpe diem!

I'll try to include all outdoor activities, both big and small, local and far away: hiking, biking, XC skiing, golf, geocaching, local walks, camping - it's all good!
